Jack & The Beanstalk

Into second week of rehearsals for panto tomorrow- first show 2.30pm Saturday - all going well.
     More news on my panto blog :
http://nickwiltonpanto.blogspot.com/
                               
After spectacularly breaking box office records with ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ in 2009, and following the overwhelming success of ‘Cinderella’ last year - UK Productions brings you a giant production of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ for this year’s Bournemouth Pavilion Pantomime.
     
Make sure the whole family is full of beans this Christmas and follow the hilarious tale of the ups and downs of young Jack Trott played by Deborah Stevenson (The Impressions Show & Coronation Street), the boy who manages to sell the family’s only valuable possession, Daisy the Cow, for a handful of beans (and they weren’t even Heinz!). He ends up having to climb a giant beanstalk into the clouds and a whole heap of trouble, to retrieve the cow and to try and impress the King.
              
Jack is helped and hindered along the way by his less than bright brother Silly Billy played by CBeebies star and Bournemouth panto favourite Chris Jarvis, the Good Fairy, Kate Weston from Wave 105, and his long-suffering mother Dame Trott played hilariously by one of the country’s top panto dames, Nick Wilton better known as Mr Lister from Eastenders.
               
Join Jack on his quest to defeat the evil Giant Blunderbore and his nasty henchman Fleshcreep played by Brian Capron (Coronation Street’s bad boy Richard Hillman), to win not only his fortune but also the hand of the Kings beautiful daughter.

The whole production is complimented by lavish costumes and a sumptuous set and promises to be another spectacular success from producers UK Productions.
It’s a giant of a pantomime…don’t miss it!

A busy week

Really looking forward to a quiet weekend - on Monday I was up early taking our 5-month old puppy to the vet and myself to the doctors for results of blood tests before travelling up to London for an ad casting; another early start on Tuesday going to Elstree to shoot a couple of scenes for EastEnders (ep. goes out 15 November); drove down to Bournemouth on Wednesday for the panto launch and stayed up late with the director, Chris Jarvis, talking through ideas for the show; yesterday I drove home via Portsmouth, where my son, Barney, has just started at Uni; and today I'm back on the train to London for a costume call for the ad which I went for on Monday, and got, and which I'm filming next Tuesday. A great week.
